Got kinda bored, started out trying to build HaleStorm 6. Didn't work that well, so I ended up with a 6 Wheel Drive True Popup/Wammer hybrid thing. Not entirely happy with it, to be honest.

Beautiful design.
Does it havok at all? Ive tried crazy wheel things like that before, and the bot always ends up flying all over the place.
(....not that its a bad thing)

Snapper2s rarely glitch, so it's fine.

You should try lengthening your ramming rack (by using irons) and angling it a bit more upwards. That should be better.

[NFX]

Okay, so Snapper Loading is quite difficult to do, right? Try doing it FOUR TIMES. I got the first setup facing completely the wrong way. And I couldn't get to the SnapperII's afterwards. But it was completely worth it. =D
 
No awesome splash, I can't be bothered right now.
 
   
I think this idea was borne out of GK's mentioning of 4WD on a SnapperII using only 3 extenders, but I modified that idea and used it for a popup. Yay compactness. The only thing I'm not happy with is the front, I wanted a third ramplate on there, but fomr some reason the collision mesh wouldn't allow it in the place that I wanted. Which also explains why the CB is at the rather curious angle that it is. I might add the third ramplate on, but I'm just very happy with the setup that I have right now.

HAHAHAHAHA YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Top right of my signature. Built off a single axle mount. twice as many things to load plus NINE attempts.


NO COMPLAINING :P

P.S. bots good :)

[NFX]

Very well, your magnificence. =P
 
Update, third ramplate's on Everything else is unchanged. And I think I've found the sweet spot with the wedges, it consistently outwedges R4 in BBEANS AI. Maybe I should grab Hot Wheels from the Bot Exchange.
 

[Sage]

Getting much better! Personally I find it rather skinny (just a taste of mine, harder to be flanked if the bot is wider.)

[Pwnator]

I liked the looks of the previous one better. But yeah, it's nice. :D

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Razors sticking out of the back should have made for bad wedges.
*Grah, stupid game physics*

[NFX]

MW True Popup. 397.7, DSA, 6 razors on there. the rest should be visible.
 

 
I think I'm starting to get the hang of Snapper loading now.

[Sage]

DDTs seem a little far back. Cool concept though.

[Naryar]

It looks sloppy to me

[Somebody]

Would look cool with a better skin IMO. Looks a bit skinny too.

[NFX]

Back to Stock for a bit.
 
Guessing the setup is kinda difficult. And then you have to do the Snapper Loading correctly. Which took a few attempts, including the world's most awful AGOD screwing it up when I got it right the first time, but the end result was worth it.
 

 
3 Blacks in there, I forgot that on the splash.
 
Built a bit more defensively than the last few versions I've tried. Improved the extender setup a bit, and I've got 2 less razors, and 2 DDT's instead of 4, which saved almost 80kg, so I could add more ramplates, and put two around the side to protect the wheels, something I'd wanted on the previous version. Not sure how the wedges are, I reckon they're probably fairly decent, I might just need to mess with the angle a bit. Wider stance, so faster turnspeed, I might have to AI it slower, though. I'm quite pleased with the outcome.

[Gazea2]

For the AGOD, pause the game before you go into the test garage. Then go back into the components tab, unpause it and press F12. The collision mesh should be in the same place. :D

How many blacks?

[NFX]

Oh, three. I forgot that. =P And the AGOD screwed up with everything, so the motors and wheels and ramplate were at a stupid angle. I think that happened with one of yours a while back.

[Gazea2]

Oh, three.

Ok. That's good. I thought there were two. :P

Good bot.

And the AGOD screwed up with everything, so the motors and wheels and ramplate were at a stupid angle. I think that happened with one of yours a while back.

Yup. I read in an old thread that the method that I posted works. It helped me to make my bot with flails.

[Virus Bomb]

for the wedges, swap the position of the wedge ddts and the weapon ddts and see if that works.

[NFX]

Snapper loading is much easier on a LW.
 

 
Ironed out a few problems with the last one, and generally improved the setup. Well, I stole the snapper setup from GK, but I think mines is better.    Not much gets past the ramplate on the front, and the maces tear off components fairly easily (especially RAZORS), but the driving can sometimes be a bit erratic, and it's not invertible. Which doesn't actually seem to bother it, it seems to win quite a lot when it's upside down. It's so far beaten everything I've put it up against in BBEANS AI.

[Naryar]

Try Restocked and Inf AI next

[G.K.]

Yours would beat mine no doubt, but I'm gonna keep it as it is, the archetypal LW razor HS.

I like yours btw.
